Here is the first sketch.

I prefer non matching lamps. I like a room to look relaxed and not staged but that's just me. I'm sure you'll make a good decision for you. Either way your room will look great cuz you always make nice rooms.

I have a table lamp on one side and a swing lamp attached to the wood door headboard on the other side of the bed.

Your new tables will be great.

I like the harmony of having same tables and lamps flanking the bed ; always have. The rest of my bedroom is ecclectic and of various materials and fabrics, metal , wood.

I love the ogee feet; you'll have to show us your finished projects, you guys are so talented.

is your bed king or queen; I personally love large bedside tables, my new ones are pretty big.

I tend towards matching lamps, but contrasting lamps look great too. I would be less apt to want to use two lamps that were similar but not matching.

I would want the bottom of the shades to be at the same height.

For what it's worth: I read somewhere that if the tables match the lamps should match too.

I hate matchey matchey and always have. Although, I have two of the same lamps in my living room and it drives me nuts. I'm going to change that soon as I can find a better looking lamp.

Joann, I think two similar lamps on the bedside tables would look fabulous. Remember anyone can go out and buy matching lamps.

Gosh, I would kill to have a husband that could build things, but as it is. lol

I'll just echo newdawn (well except for the hubby part thankyouverymuch! I've got a pretty handy one myself LOL).

I don't have matching tables or lamps in our bedrooms. I think similar lamps would work or even two completely different ones.

Love the table designs and the feet. Can't wait to see!

Thanks Ladies, I have nothing in the house that matches, since I was doing matching end tables, I thought I should
match the lamps. I have them up on my end tables now, and the one I chose for me is more delicate and the one for Cliff is more "manly" LOL...So if i don't find the mate to mine (it's the one I really love) I can live with the mismatched lamps..

Please more opinions are welcomed.

If I get a chance, I'll take some pics of the lamps for a sneak preview.
We finished the drapes and cornices and I love it. Hubby does all the sewing cause we have a big commercial machine
and I make him nervous when I sew. The speed is very fast and hard to control and I sew with my fingers close to the foot. He doesn't want to make the trip to the emergency ward when I put the needle through my finger.
I also have a wicker chair that I want to make new pillows
for, as well and refinishing the antique wash stand. Lots to do...
Mitchdesi, how big are your end tables? I also have ecclectic look -- pecan furniture and a wicker and iron headboard. I now want a British Colonial feel to the bedroom... I currently have wicker end tables that are about 22" high and 21" x 21" so the big tables are going to
be a leap.

hummm, how big are they; I had small ones before; I'm away now but I would venture to say they are 34 wide by 20 deep, height is shorter than a dresser,
as a matter of fact they are like short dressers. I have a king bed with an iron head and footboard and frame, masses of cushions, so they go with the look.

I'm not a matchy matchy person either, except when it comes lamps. lol. If they don't match, either on opposite tables from a sofa or a bed, it throws me off.

But your home is extremely unique and I think you can get away with it. :)

We have different tables, but matching lamps. I'm honestly thinking of changing my lamp because I read in bed and the one I have just doesn't quite give enough light.

Like sjt2900, I have unmatched bedside tables, but matching lamps. That way, when you walk in the bedroom, there's a symmetry because you notice the matching lamps flanking the bed, but the room is more interesting (I think...) for it's mismatched furniture.

Sorry, I couldn't get good shots. It's very overcast today and I need to use the tripod, because the photos came blurry.
I mocked up a table using two folding tables together, then on top of the folding tables I put my dining room table pad. The height is 27" length 33" x 20" wide. I think I'll just scale down the width to 19" I also want to shim it up another inch and see what 28" high looks like.
